Back Home

Hello everyone! I've been away from the computer for a few days so I wanted to let you know that I'm still around! We had a wonderful time at Jonathan and Brenda's. We drove in the snow almost the whole way. When we left Wichita Falls it started snowing and continued till we got to Ranger.
It was very enjoyable driving through the beautiful country being covered with snow.We couldn't resist stopping and taking a picture of this Texas long-horn. He was definitely looking us over!
We got there on Thursday afternoon, went to supper, went back to the house, got comfortable and there we stayed until we left today. It was so nice getting to hug on Savanna and Scarlet.
We took care of them for a few hours while Jon and Brenda were gone and thoroughly enjoyed it. After a time of Savanna being in my lap and talking about her "life" she made her way over to Papa's lap and there she stayed for about an hour playing tic-tac-toe. I could hear the competition happening across the room. LOL! I think Savanna even beat Papa in a few games. Scarlet crawled up in my lap and we sang, and said rhymes, wiggled our nose, made "rabbit lips", pretty eyes, and all the things you do with a 2 year old. We had so much fun! It was like they realized they had us all to themselves without any adults around and took full advantage of it. When we were travelling we received a phone call that someone was trying to reach us, so I made a phone call and found out it was Rick,an old friend. Rick was bringing someone up to visit Daddy and Mother's grave. I was so surprised to find out that Dave was with him. Rick, Dave and I were young people together in Fresno.
Wendell and I met them for supper and had a nice time of visiting. We enjoyed some laughs and shed a few tears. Dave is married to my childhood friend, Sharon. Sharon and I were 9 years old when we met. Her Dad (Herman) and my Dad, were friends when they were boys. (that's just a little history I thought you would enjoy even though a lot of you do not know these people) You know, life has a way of sneaking up on you and it flies by faster than you can say "scat"! It's great having new friends, but there is nothing like getting to talk about the "old days" with someone you've known most of your life. Am I sounding old or what? LOL! I guess my point is, as you get older you start realizing the importance of relationships. We enjoyed the visit!
